Region-specific forest structure pathways reveal climate effects on old-growth tropical forest biomass

Old-growth tropical forests store vast amounts of carbon in their aboveground biomass (AGB), yet the relative roles of abiotic factors such as climate, soil, and topography in governing its spatial distribution remain poorly understood. In particular, the degree to which climate acts on AGB through forest structure is...

Climate Change Impacts on Alpine Vegetation: The Role of Microclimatic Variability

Global surface temperatures have increased by about 1.1°C relative to 1850–1900, with 2011–2020 being the warmest decade on record and accompanied by changing precipitation patterns. Warming is amplified in alpine regions such as the European Alps, where temperature increases have been roughly twice the northern hemisp...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Environmental Associations of Vegetation Carbon Sinks in the Middle and Lower Yellow River Basin, China

Vegetation carbon sinks are an important component of the terrestrial carbon cycle, and net ecosystem productivity (NEP) is widely used to indicate ecosystem carbon-sink strength. However, the long-term dynamics and environmental associations of vegetation carbon sinks in the middle and lower Yellow River Basin remain...

Soil Moisture Thresholds for the Temperature Sensitivity of Ecosystem Respiration

Ecosystem respiration (ER) is the largest source of biogenic CO2 to the atmosphere, and its temperature sensitivity (Q10) before reaching maximum values is crucial for understanding land–climate feedback. However, despite decades of studies showing that Q10 varies considerably across space, time, and biomes, the mechan...

Temporal dynamics of carbon fluxes in a tropical montane forest ecosystem in Southern Ecuador

Tropical rainforests represent major carbon reservoirs and play a critical role in regulating carbon dynamics and climate. Quantifying their carbon fluxes is essential for understanding ecosystem responses to climate variability and improving future climate change projections. In this study, we investigated interannu...

The Role, Issues, and Challenges of Afforestation in Climate Change Mitigation

Afforestation can contribute to climate-change mitigation when tree establishment is matched to ecological context and sustained by long-term management, but its net climatic effect is not uniformly cooling. Existing syntheses often emphasize carbon sequestration while treating biophysical, hydrological, disturbance, a...
